Employee share schemes
Incentivising staff through schemes which allow them to enjoy the benefits of ownership and reap the rewards of the business that they have helped to grow.

BEE strategy
BEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) should be a key part of your business strategy and requires discussion at an executive committee level. In addition to transformative benefits, BEE can make your business more competitive, as clients and customers often consider it to be just as important as price and quality.
